Review: Castle Rock Estate Pinot Noir 2022

Another serious and structured Pinot from the Porongurup Pinot champion. Mint, strawberry, Pinosity – this ’22 works. It’s mid-weight, with a dip towards more tannic depth, but bright fruit, too. Fascinating to put this wine next to the A & W, which has less grunt but more beauty. Worthy WA Pinot wines.
